lnemt.

The great losers by the transac-
ton which has given the B, 4 o.
Company new financial backing to
the extent of $10,000,000 are the in
yentors of railroad canard, who ere
already suffering terrible deprecia-
ton of their stock in trade The
more those who know the bottom
facts are allowed to speak the more
apparent it becomes that the con-
tract announced last Friday is, in
it's nature and intended conse-
quences, very much like the ordinary
contract between borrowers and len
ders. 1t was certainly not the revo-
lutionary proceeding some persons
have represented it to be. There
was quid pro quo, the one party
getting gilt-edged securities and the
other getting good money, improved
means of access to New York and
the South, and harmonious relations
with everybody worth conciliating.
Both have good thing, and know
it. Vice President Spencer's denial
yesterday of the story that the B.
q o. is to be subordinated to the
Pennsylvania Company, or, for that
matter, to any outside interest,
ought to put an end to stories of
that kind. The syndicate dictates
nothing; it's influence with the com
pany will be of that kind which a
sensible man always comedies to a
known friend of intelligence and
identical aims. 1t is not, says Mr..
Spencer, for the syndicate of money
lenders to decide whether the tele-
graph, parlor-car franchise, or any
other property is to be sold; that is
matter which the directors will de-
eide for themselves. "The road will
not" he states with the utmost di-
rectness, "cease to be an independ-
ent trunk line" If the syndicate of
bankers obtain representa- ton in
the board of directors it will be
through arrangements with stock
holders in the usual way. Mr.. King,
the second vice president of the road,
with Mr.. Boale, member of the
finance committee, is also confident
that the outlook for the company is
fair. The former states confidently
that the way has been opened to go
to Staten Island by way of the Jer-
sey Central and Reading, which was
the original plan. The latter will
not concede the possibility of Balti-
more losing it differential by reason
of the new management. THE diff
ferential has become" he says "es-
tahlished railroad law" and the
Pennsylvania Company is Balti-
more's ally in sustaining it, IT is
not little comforting to have rea-
son to believe that quictness and
stability are hereafter to be the rail
road situation.-Baltimore Sun.

The proposition for a national eel
ebration of the 400th anniversary of
the discovery of America by Colum-
bus is being actively agitated, and
both Washington and New York
city are setting forth their respective
claims for the honor New York
has many advantages to present for
consideration, but the selfishness of
its leading citizens and their utter
lack of sentiment in regard to mat
tiers Of this kind will be an argu-
ment against holding the proposed
celebration there. On the other
hand Washington is the national
capital, has ample facilities, and fol-
number of purely sentimental rea-
sons has call on a national enter
prise of this character.

SIN my opinion the next national

incumbent upon itself to adopt the
planks of the Ohio democracy in re-

sue between the two parties as far
as our standard bearer is concerned
Undoubtedly it will be Cleveland
for under no circumstances will Gov
ernor Hill, of New York, be opposed
to him. There is an understanding
between both of them to this effect
and there is no opposition in any
quarter now, 1t has been my obser
walton that man who is weak with
the politicians is universally strong
with the people, and the efforts made
by the incumbent of the White
House in the direction of an honest
administration of affairs have moi
been in vain. 1t makes no difference

first steps toward the erection of

The County Court has taken the
first steps toward the erection of a
new court house.
We commend the court not only
for the improved condition of it's
backbone but for the business-like
manner in which they have gone
about it.
We omit any reference to the
fact that judicial prod in the shape
of threatened mandamus from the
circuit court, doubtless contributed
to the stiffness of the county courts
spinal column.
They have, with good sense and
Judgment, secured the services of a
skilled architect, who promptly con
demned the old building on exami-
nation; declared that it was posi-
lively dangerous to use the court
room, and that the north wall of the
building might be expected to fall
out within two years. He will sub
nit plans and estimates for new
building for adoption by the court
The plan and style Of the new
building is not therefore to be left
to Tom, Dick and Harry to make q
tumble, bungle and mess of it.
The cheapest bill about q new
building is the fee paid the archi-
although it is the habit of oul
people rather to spoil "a building
than pay an architect; and to ex
pend more in its construction fol
lack of skill than would have PAID
five times the fee Of the architect
If the present court house had beer
built by an architect it would BIZ
good for fifty years to come.
That which is worth doing at al
is worth doing right. We hope thu
county court will put up building

Three Things Makes the Whole
Case.


There are three things to be said
about the two grave yards in town
that cannot be controverted:
l. The property or land contained
in these grave yards is of no value
to the town as it is.
2. The town could therefore afford
TO give these lots to anyone who
would pay the cost of removing the
bodies buried there.
2. If the town will make this prop
osition somebody will accept it, and
the lots will thus become profitable
to somebody, and the town be bene-
fitted by getting rid of most I'M
pleasant and undesirable possession
that has no proper place within the
corporate limits.
A man could very well afford to
take these lots as compensation fol
the removal of the bodies, and the
town very well afford to get rid OF
the nuisance at such a price.
A lot might be purchased in the
cemetery for the burial of unknown
and unmarked bodies, as well as fol
those whose graves are marked, but
whose descendants are not disposed
30 TAB 1,ff no
This is movement that the whole
town agrees should be made, and il
only needs little "get up" ON the
part of our officials to carry it speed
lily through. We suggest to then
that they do get up and shake
the dew drons from their names.

A Young Marriage Broker.

At the recent session of the New
England Conference one Of its popular
bachelor members WAS assigned q new
field of labor, and has since been making
the acquaintance of his new flock.
On recent Sunday he made tour Of
the Sunday School under the direction
of the superintendent, by whom he was
presented to the different classes. AS
they came to one class Of small boys,
taught by prepossessing young lady,
the Superintendent, by way OF introduce
ton said:
"This class has usually been taught
by our Pastors wife,"
Before the new Pastor could utter his
word Of encouragement to the class ono
Of the boys said:
"Now 10 your chance, teacher"
The word of encouragement was not
uttered and the Pastor and Superintend-
ent quickly sought the next class, leaving
the blushing teacher to her boys.--[N New

A GIGANTIC IMPROVEMENT.
FIRST American Train Run by reiesrap

First American Train Run by Telegraph.
In 1850 the Erie road was In operation
between Piermont and Elmira. Tho
track was single one; such q thing as q
double track was then unknown In the
country.
Two years before, after much discuss
sion and opposition, q telegraph wire had
boon put up along the line. SupcrInten-
don't Minot, who was man long way
IN advance OF the times. was strong
believer in the practicabillty OF the telc-
graph as faeilitator Of transportation
on railroads.
In the summer OF 1850 he was pas
sengor one day on a wcstbound train over
his road. The train he was on, according
to the printed timetable, was TO meet a
through train from tho West at Turner'S
Station. forty-seyon miles from Now
York.
When Mr.. Mlnots train reached Tur-
ners, he learned that the eastbound train
was six hours late, owing to somo mis-
hap. Under tho system OF railroadlng
then governing employees tho westbound
train had to remain at Turner'S until tho
delayed train had passed the station. In
fact, the whole business OF tho road from
there west was at q standstill owing to
the non.arrival OF the train at the differ
cuI othtlDHS Wutto OlHcE tIuiuS Wctc
awaiting IL.
Superintendent Minot saw at once how
ridiculous such system was. There
was u telegraph Office at Turner's and it
was then tho only ono between that sta
ton and Jersey City. Tho Superintcn.
don't went to tho ollce and made the
operators hair stand by sending mos
sage to tho station agent at Port Jervis
that he intended to run tho train he was
on from Turner's to Port Jervis on the
timc OF the belated castbound train. lie
ordered the agent not to let any train
leave that station going East until tho
train he was on arrived thcre. He also
ordered the agent to telegraph to him
how he understood tho message.
Tho answer was satisfactory, and the
Superintendent went TO the conductor of
tho train and told him to start on with
his train. The conductor refused to do
SO, and the Superintendent discharged
him on the spot.
Mlnot then ordered the engineer TO
pull out. The engineer said that he
would not take the risk. and In the argu-
ment that followed the Superintendent
dragged the engineer from the cab. gave
him an elegant dressing out, and mounted
the foot-board himself.
He ran the train to Port Jervfs and
sent 1t on West as far as Narrowsburg
before it met the late train, thus saving
the passengers five hours, and settling
forever the question of the accuracy OF
the telegraph in running railroad trains.

A Young Man Drowned.

Young Man Drowned.
The Easton Free Press says: Wednes-
day evening, about half after five o'clock,
Charles w. Palmer, Jr., of Frenchtown,
N. j., and A. H. Van Cleaye, of Easton,
stepson of w. G. Stewart, went in bath
ing in the Lehigh Canal basin, at Bethls-
hem. Both are Freshmen in the Lehigh
University. They swan across the basin
and were returning when Palmer cried
for help. He had been taken with era mp.
Van Cleave swan to his side to assist him,
but Palmer threw his arms around him
and prevented Van Cleave from further
efforts to reach shore. Van Cleave, real
izing his own danger, fought off Palmer's
grasp and tried again to push him to-
wards shore, but failed. Another student
named Alfred Doolittle came to the rescue
and seized Palmer by the hair. Just at
that moment there was a rush Of water
from the lock and Palmer was swept off
by the current He disappeared for the
third time. The boatmen were appealed
to for aid, but thought the young men
"iooling." When they did respond it
was too late. Ten minutes or SO later the
body was found, but all efforts at resus-
citation were futile. A verdict of acct
dental drowning was rendered. Had Pal
mer not thrown his arms about Van
Ceave he would have been saved.

powpERLY,s TEMpERANoE CREED.

In an address at Lynn, Mass, Sunday,
General Master Workman Powderiy made
strong reference to the need of temper
ance among Knights of Labor, whose
cause had been much injured by rum
drinking. He said:
Had | ten million tongues and a
throat for each tongue, | would say to
every man, woman and child here to-
night: Throw strong drink aside as you
would. an ounce of liquid hell. 1t sears
the conscience; it destroys everything 1t
touches. 1t reaches into the family circle
and takes the wife you had sworn to pro-
tect and drags her down from her purity
into that house from which no decent
woman ever goes alive. 1t induces the
father to take the furniture from his
house, exchange it for money at the
pawnshop, and spend the proceeds in rum.
It damns everything IL touches. | have

dime spent in the rumshop furnishes a
paving stone for hell. In one Pennsylva-

IMMIGRATION.

We called attention last week to the
large increase in the immigration to this
country from Europe, shown by the sta
tisties for the last five months. The facts
are attracting the serious attention Of
thinkers and leading to suggestions re-
specting the necessity of putting restric-
tions upon immigration for the good both
of the country and the immigrant. Such
conservative Journal as the Christian
Intetligencer gives expression to such
views as the following in its last issue:
Immigrants are arriving at this port at
an average rate of about 1900 day.
They are not wanted. The time was
when there was need of them. Not the
best of them are we in need of now. Our
labor markets. over-stoeked. Our Amer
lean lads are shut out from mechanical
occupations in order that the immigrant
may have work. The time was when the
carpenter shops were half occupied by
American lads, learning the trade. That
time is past. The shops are occupied now
by foreigners. So it is in all trades. The
public lands will be taken up in ten years,
in less than ten years If the immigration
continues to flow in as it does this year.
They are the patrimony of our sons, the
sons of the men who fought the War of
the Revolution, of 1879, and the Civil War.
Foreigners who have not the least claim
upon these lands, who have not expended
a cent of money or stroke of work or a
thought for their acquisition are taking
them up. 1t is an outrageous injustice to
the sons of American farmers to allow
this seizure Of land to go on.
"What is to be done? Put tariff ON
Castle Garden, as the workingman ex-
claimed at political meeting. Charge
not less than $50 head for every immi-
grant. 1t would look unkind Not at all.
Let these immigrants go to temperate
South America and carve out republic
as we and our fathers have done. 1t has
not hurt us to do it, it will not injure
them"
The point made against the ABSORPTION
of the public lands by new corners is es-
pecially well taken, and deserves the seri-
Gus consideration Of Congress. -Piatnfeld
